Santo Domingo Attractions

Santo Domigo has an array of historical and natural attractions
to suit even the most discerning traveller. Santo Domingo is right
on the Caribbean Sea, but still, this isn't a beach town. Instead,
you should spend some time at historically significant sites like
the Catedral Primada de América or the Fortaleza Ozama.

Visitors should also allot an hour or two for the
architecturally significant and visually awesome Columbus
Lighthouse which now houses the remains of Christopher Columbus.
And then there's the nocturnally significant Malecón, which
some say is the best nightlife available in the Caribbean.

Whatever your tastes, Santo Domingo is both big enough to
entertain for days and small enough to cover in a solid day of
sightseeing and cultural exploring. With plenty of attractions to
entertain and amaze for the whole family, the diversity of the city
is really shown with varying sights, from the natural beauty of the
Los Tres Ojos National Park to the historical splendour of the
Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo.
